Help with PCM/Nav Text Messaging

For 2009, the PCM Manual states that you can receive text messages via a connected bluetooth phone ni your car. If the message contains the "geologic coordinates" of a destination, the nav system can understand these coordinates and interpret them as your destination.

Problem is, when you find something on, say, google maps, you get the address, not the coordinates.

Anyone know a map service that gives you the coordinates of your desired destination?

I've never gotten a text message to my screen and I have gotten them while driving so this is all news to me... something I missed or is it a special option?

for 09, the manual states that you can basically text while driving if you have your bluetooth phone connected. I will have to actually try it before I say more.
